Look, the dude is going to make a killing by shorting UK economy, fair play innit?

£1.1T in 15 years which works out in £1,410,256,410.25 per week which is even more than what it said on the side of the bus The NHS is saved hurrah!

His plan has fizzled and died, only a group of unknown MP's turned up last night to the meeting to topple May.

It seems they've decided to let May go through with Chequers and when it's all done and dusted claim it wasn't them. Boris doesn't care anyway, it is abundantly obvious he just wants to be PM.

The big Brino sell out is underway, and there will be lots of "it wasn't me" from Brexiteer Tories at the doorstep.

Belgian TV reported this at the end of the news yesterday, in the light entertainment spot.
There was a picture of JRM and the figure of 1 trillion came up on screen.
Then there was much chuckling among the talking heads.

Indeed by making this outlandish claim he's acknowledging that he'll never be held to account for it - that means he's given up.
BRINO it is then - for thick Brexiters the takeaway is that it's all the bad bits without the good bits

Isn't this how much he will make personally out of the chaos? He doesn't care about the UK, just his own personal wealth.

He's probably not wrong.

When the market crash occurs the money printing presses will be on fire. £3 to one US dollar.

Funny the Brextulipters seem very quiet on their hero, JRM's claim.
I would have been cock-a-hoop if my choices led to a trillion windfall in the economy.
It's almost as thpugh they don't really believe him
